Chapter 560: 560
Origin of the Gods
Chapter 1/6 (7)
While only 6 chapters are supposed to be published this week, I promised you guys in June that I would keep the rate at 7/week minimum for the rest of 2018 .
That being said, help us out on Patreon if you have a few bucks to spare .
Yan Sanniang understood Yang Chen’s amazement at her act, as she smiled and said, “Young Master Chen, spare an ear for this old lady . I believe Young Master Chen has met a Hongmeng messenger, if Young Master Chen were to brashly proceed with harassing Lu Min, it would undoubtedly be an act of self-provocation . ”
Yang Chen knew then, that the elderly before him was not any random lady, and he sternly said, "I am aware that the brat possesses some influence and support from his grandfather from his maternal side, but does the Li clan’s outreach extend to the point of ordering Hongmeng’s men around?”
Sanniang sighed as she shook her head in dismay, "Nobody can order Hongmeng around, not even the Li clan . But know this, Young Master Chen, that only when the four major clans stay within their respective courses, will the stability of China and its army be stable . Under such a delicate balance, nobody will accept the murder of a direct associate of any of the four major clans . And definitely not because of some ordinary businessman’s daughter .
“Even the people of the Lu clan were in the wrong, that still wouldn’t justify a death sentence . If the Li clan accepted when someone associated with them was killed without fuss, then what of their dignity? Could they have been said to have destroyed it in that single act?
“If the great clan master, Li Moshen, couldn’t even defend his own grandson, then Li clan would not be worthy of the title of the four major clans! It’s common knowledge to many in Beijing that Young Master Chen is the eldest grandson of the Yang clan . Henceforth, regardless of your perspective, in the standpoint of the Li’s, it would seem that our clan has decided to provoke theirs . ”
Yang Chen fell silent . He knew that Yan Sanniang was spot on . Yang Gongming had privately met him twice, and even more often with Yang Pojun . Yang Jieyu and her husband Yuan Hewei, have already formed a relationship with him . As for Guo Xuehua, she was the closest blood relative to Yang Chen .
Even though he didn’t recognize any blood relatives other than Guo Xuehua, the outside world did not care of what he thought . He was still part of the clan by blood .
Sanniang continued, ”The Li clan has always been acting behind the scenes . One reason for that is because the Li clan is a small faction in terms of size, outnumbering us only slightly . And secondly, the Li clan leader was given the role of overseeing information insights and the special forces, it goes without saying that keeping it low would be their go-to . However, only a fool would ever mistake it for a weakness .
“If the head of the Li clan, Vice Premier Li Moshen, wanted to release consequential amounts of negative reports with the goal to stir major upheavals among our ranks, he could have done it with the snap of his fingers .
“Until then, it doesn’t matter if our great family would not concede to the Li clan . The Hongmeng messengers on duty would not stay down and watch blindly . Young Master Chen, you might not have known this, but you are a god among men, and your knowledge of how to utilize the laws of space is more than enough to be a thorn in the flesh for Hongmeng of China . Had you not simultaneously mastered the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, you would not be here standing and having this talk with me . ”
Yang Chen, in cold sweat, frowned and said, "How would you know what techniques I have been cultivating all this time? Not to mention, why would Hongmeng be agitated by the gods?”
Yan Sanniang with shock on her face, later explained, “This Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture is Shushan’s greatest technique . It’s incredibly recognizable . As to why he was aggravated, I’m quite sure that the other gods would have failed to have mentioned anything to you . ”
“My succession of the role of a god was an abrupt one . Apart from some simple details and conditions, I have no knowledge of the gods’ past . Could it be that there is still present feud between Hongmeng of China and the gods of the west?” Yang Chen guessed .
Glimpses of pride could be seen in the eyes of Yan Sanniang, as she shook her head and smiled . "Conflict? That’s not entirely the case, Young Master Chen, pardon me for saying this, but in the eyes of the people of Hongmeng, gods as we have claimed, are nothing but a group of mutants, a form of sub-par beings . We’re not even in the same league . How could there be any conflict?”
“What?” Yang Chen pupils grew tenfold, that had to be the first time he had ever heard that the lofty gods weren’t even comparable to mere mortals!
Yan Sanniang waved her hand, and said, “This involves ancient history lost to the knowledge of mankind . Even I only gained knowledge of it from the likes of the grandmaster back then . Of course, Young Master Chen, you may have currently achieved godhood, but the truth still remains that you are still mortal at your core, distinct from that of the mutants . What this old lady was referring to are the remaining eleven of them, the core gods that have lived through the masses of time whom the ignorant mortals worship as gods . What a joke . ”
